If your RL neighbor put up a counter, and a sign "First Bank of [insert your street name here]" and offered interest on deposits, would you deposit your money with her?
Would you be more or less likely to if she offered interest rates far in excess of your regulated bank? If she wouldn't provide specifics on where that interest came from?
At the site of JT Financial inworld, protestors gathered with signs. Some blame Linden Lab, some blame JT Financial, and others - well, if there's someone who can be blamed, there's someone doing it. Plus the usual collection of tangential, random and humorous protest signs that gather in any Second Life protest, "Baba Sucks" (a reference to oldbie resident Baba Yamamoto) being among the most prevalent of the outliers.
